Comprehensive VB .NET Debugging

visual Studio .net And, More Specifically, Visual Basic .net Give Developers More Productivity And More Power To Develop Applications, But At The Cost Of A Complex Development Environment And With A Whole New Set Of Potential Bugs. comprehensive Vb .net Debugging Analyzes The New Defect Types That Arise With Vb .net And Investigates The Debugging Of Every Type Of Vb .net Application Together With Many Common Debugging Scenarios. Author Mark Pearce Shows You How To Use The Powerful New .net Debugging Tools To Find Bugs Wherever They Hideeven Buried Deep Within Distributed Applications. THIS BOOK IS ABOUT FINDING, understanding, fixing, and preferably preventing bugs when creating desktop, network, and Web applications with Visual Basic (VB) .NET. It explores the power of the new cross-language and cross-component debugging tools, and shows you how to dig down into or tunnel across your entire application to find bugs at whatever level they live. With the arrival of VB .NET, many of the old debugging rules have changed. This means that some ominous storm clouds are gathering on the horizon. Well, Toto, We're Not in Kansas Anymore Back in the personal computing Dark Ages, during a period when men were men and code was written in blood, it took some seriously hard-core work to create a viable and stable Windows application. Windows itself was still relatively imma­ ture and was being held back because of the lack of simple tools available for producing programs. Then in 1991 Visual Basic 1.0 and its successors (henceforth collectively referred to as VB.Classic) came riding to the rescue and changed the software development world in a dramatic way Visual Studio .NET, and more specifically, Visual Basic .NET give developers more productivity and more power to develop applications, but at the cost of a complex development environment together with a whole new set of potential bugs. Debugging VB .NET Development analyzes the new defect types that arise with VB.NET, and investigates the debugging of every type of VB.NET application together with many common debugging scenarios. Mark Pearce also shows developers how to use the powerful new .NET debugging tools to find bugs wherever they hide, even deep inside distributed applications Pearce's book is specifically about debugging in the programming language VB.NET for every application type, from Windows Forms to ASP.NET to XML Web services.
